This is not the way love is supposed to start… is it?

When arriving in Scotland, Aiden Jacobson is ready to take on the task of setting up Cole Enterprise’s newest underground headquarters. But when their most-wanted criminal, Robert de Fleur, goes into hiding, Aiden is placed undercover at a local coffee shop. His mission—gather intel from Brenda Anderson, sister of Robert de Fleur, while posing as a barista at The Grounded Bean.

Coffee shop owner Brenda Anderson needs all the help she can get when it comes to keeping the Bean up and running. Unaware of his ulterior motives, Brenda brings the mysterious and handsome Aiden in with only one thing on her mind… Airen. Maybe her gypsy-souled niece wouldn’t wander quite so far if she had someone like Aiden to keep her grounded.

Thrown together by circumstance, Airen becomes part of Aiden’s mission when Robert de Fleur emerges from hiding, demanding something none of them can give. Knowing Robert won’t stop until he gets what he wants, Aiden is ordered to stick as close as possible to keep an eye on them.

Staying at Brenda’s seems to be the simplest solution… until he wakes up in Airen’s bed.
Making a valiant attempt to shove his growing feelings aside, Aiden forces himself to walk away and protect Airen from afar. Unfortunately, his plan backfires, and Robert de Fleur uses that weakness to make his move.

Kicking himself for allowing his feelings to get in the way of the mission, Aiden sets out to do what he should have done all along… take out Robert de Fleur once and for all. Can Aiden stick to the mission, or will Airen tear down every defense he puts in place and gain complete entrance to his heart?

After finishing End Note I had to read the next book in the series. I was in deep and couldn't think about leaving these boys yet.

This book follows Aiden. He's been sent to Scotland to carry on with the mission to find and take our Robert de Fleur. What he didn't bank on was falling, hard for Airen.

Airen is Brenda's niece. Aiden has been working in Brenda's coffee shop for cover for a few weeks when Airen returns home. She's a feisty girl who's not afraid to stand up for herself.

This book was laid out a little differently from The Summer I Fell and End Note in that each chapter was from either Airen or Aiden's perspective. I really like it when authors do this because you really get inside the character's head. You really get to know them not just what other people see of them.

This book will have you on the edge of your seat, biting everything and praying that they all make it to the end of the book alive.

I really liked the Epilogue of this book and I'm hoping the next book will be about Josh, I can't wait to hear his story.
